Could the health of your teeth be based upon your sex? That’s what a new study that was recently released by Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine indicates. In fact, the study, which was released in May, 2012, states that normal hormonal changes in women that naturally occur from pre-puberty and onwards have the propensity to increase their risks for gum disease, bone loss and can even complicate pregnancies. It’s already widely agreed that natural monthly hormonal changes in women exacerbate certain ailments, like the common ailments felt during menstruation, such as: lightheadedness, dizziness, stomach cramping, headaches, bloating and others. But could these same hormonal occurrences be detrimental to dental health, too?
